Welcome! Grab a cup of tea, and enjoy browsing some of the photos and stories. As the 'teawife,' it is my duty to watch and listen and be a supportive friend, and a loving mum and wife. I should post more often, but sticking my nose into everyone's business keeps me busy! Kathy the teawife

Snow, snow, snow

The SE of England has been blanketed by an unusually large amount of snow since nightfall. We are guessing that we have about 7 inches of snow in our back garden. And, it is still snowing!

My dear son is celebrating the fact that he's only managed to have one day of school under his belt for the new year! His school is still open -- they have boarders -- however, it's near to impossible to get there as the side roads aren't gritted. We have some poky little roads leading up to the school. In other words, he's not going to school today.

Hubby is home, too, so it is a pleasant extension of the holidays.

I also recall looking up to heavens around Christmas and asking Him up above if I could have some snow for my birthday. I'm feeling rather blessed right now. LOL!

I have been trying to feed my birds, who are desperate to eat but finding the snow hard going. I was able to clear off the large ground food platform I have for the ground-feeding birds. The food tubes are all working -- not frozen! We've had lots of feathered guests this morning.

Doggy Sophie finds the snow exhilarating, and it's hard to get her back inside after a romp. Once she's in, she spends five minutes pulling little snow balls off her extensive fur!

As it is the Epiphany, or Twelfth Day, I need to finish putting away my decorations. How sad! The Christmas tree and twinkling lights look so lovely next to the white of the garden. So that's what I will be doing today . . . as well as making some borscht. Feels like the perfect weather for soup.

About Me

Welcome! I am Kathy the Teawife. Having been fortunate to travel around the world and live in the United States, England, Malaysia and Abu Dhabi, I've now settled in a lakehouse nestled in the Colorado Front Range with my recently retired hubby. With our son away pursuing a doctoral degree in genetics and biochemistry at the School of Medicine, University of Cardiff, Wales, hubby and I have loads of time to play and explore. While I started my professional career as a publication writer and editor, my various detours and life events have led me into different avenues. Today, my passions include paper crafting, creating cards, designing mixed media pieces, taking photos, messing around with design software, and blogging. I especially enjoy teaching crafty projects, either in person or online. I've found that paper crafting is a wonderful way to meet new people when moving to new places. Thank you for stopping by for a visit!
